Abstract
We study the resummation of large logarithmic perturbative corrections to the partonic cross sections relevant for dihadron production in hadronic collisions, H{sub 1}H{sub 2}{yields}h{sub 1}h{sub 2}X, at high invariant mass of the produced hadron pair. These corrections arise near the threshold for the partonic reaction and are associated with soft-gluon emission. We perform the resummation to next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy, and show how to incorporate consistently cuts in rapidity and transverse momentum of the observed particles. We present numerical results for fixed-target and ISR regimes and find enhancements over the next-to-leading order cross section, which significantly improve the agreement between theoretical predictions and data.
